WILBRAHAM - Police continue to probe a Wednesday morning accident involving a car and motorcycle on Boston Road that sent a 53-year-old Springfield man to Baystate Medical Center for treatment of internal injuries.

The victim, Michael V. Critelli, of 41 Dubois St., Springfield, was conscious and able to answer questions following the crash, Officer John Siniscalchi said.

Critelli’s condition at Baystate was not immediately available.

The accident occurred shortly before 8 a.m. near Woodcrest Condominiums at 2205 Boston Road. Critelli was riding east on Boston Road when he was struck by Mildred Colapietro, 82, who was making a left turn out of the condominiums.

“It appears that the car hit the motorcycle,” Siniscalchi said, adding that Colapietro’s car, a 2010 Honda Civic, sustained front-end damage and had to be towed from the scene.

Colapietro, who lives at Woodcrest, told police that she did not see the motorcycle, Siniscalchi said. The crash remains under investigation, he said.

Siniscalchi said Critelli had been wearing what he described as a “half-helmet” and that it is not yet known whether it was U.S. Department of Transportation-certified. Some helmets of that style are certified and others are not, Siniscalchi said, adding that he does not know in this case because the helmet went with Critelli to Baystate.
